YHGfL Blogs
Students and teachers have a new way of communicating with the world - by using blogs! After requests for a safe environment from a number of schools and Local Authorities for blogging, YHGfL are piloting their newly created Classblog. See http://shareit.yhgfl.net Specially designed and created to appeal to children and teenagers, the facility allows all students and teachers to safely write a blog from within their school/college - via a username and password.
The blogs will be fully moderated, can be accessed globally and once written, the text cannot be altered by other users. YHGfL have added in the ability to videocast/podcast so that users can download entries to a variety of devices, e.g. mp3 and mp4 players.
Currently, the project is being piloted by Wakefield and Calderdale and it is then to be rolled out across the region.
